About Me

I am a human being like you. I did not ask to be born, and I did not ask to suffer, and I did not ask to die.
However, I have discovered the truth about why people are born, why they suffer and why they die.
I had an experience where God spoke to me and called me His Prodigal Son and Jesus Christ appeared before me. Since that time I have had an abiding assurance and joy within my being that I am a SAVED MAN.
Jesus is returning soon. You need to read the book that is available FREE at The Ten Commandments Were Designed For You To Enjoy And Possess Life.
